My Invincible Husband Has Returned novel Chapter 126

"Wait! That man looks so familiar! Isn't that Liam and Celena? They're even holding that little scum of a daughter in their arms!"

Liam helped Celena out of the jeep, then picked Jovie up in his arms and stood proudly before everyone. Everyone, including the Stones, finally snapped out of their stupor. Their looks of excitement and longing immediately turned to disgust and distaste.

"Damn it! I thought it was the King Pendragon, but it turns out it's just that scumbag Liam! What rotten luck! What a waste of our time!"

"Hey, that's strange… Why would Liam be sitting in a jeep with all the tanks escorting him here?"

Celena was so nervous that her palms were covered in sweat. If it had not been for Liam clutching her tightly, she would have turned and left right that minute. She had always been afraid of public scrutiny. It terrified her and made her want to crawl into a shell.

Liam could feel her trembling next to him, so he gently squeezed her hand in reassurance. Then, he pulled her aside and waited quietly in a corner, ignoring everyone's angry spats around him.

Cheryl was the first to snap out of her stupor among the rest of the Stones. She immediately stomped toward Celena in her four-inch stilettos and tilted her chin smugly toward Celena. "How dare you even show up here, Celena? Have you ever been to such a formal event before? Oh, I know! You're just here to pig out, aren't you? You cheap little bitch!" Cheryl snarled, staring at Celena with utter disdain.
